Prepares students for the world of work
This school is exactly what schools should be -the focus is on positive destinations for all

Definitely ‘school, but different!’
Was only at this school for less than a year before I moved, during that time I saw teachers leave and get replaced very frequently. Loads of the staff were only there temporarily and a lot of them left halfway through teaching gcse year groups. Overall when I was there the quality of teaching was very poor - my physics teacher basically told us to write notes from the textbook every lesson, my chemistry teacher had an obsession with practicals and would never actually talk through topics releva...

from a current student
computer science is good here but maths is definitely lacking a bit. The school itself is nice and environment is friendly. school food is definitely overpriced as 2.10 for a common sandwich is definitely reaching and there are limited options.

Bad school environment
Came to the school thinking that it would be better as it's a smaller school. I was soon proved wrong it's clear that this school is just for disturbed children, the police are regularly in the school from the 2 years that I was there it wasent out of the ordinary too see them regularly seen a good fhew fights in the school and the teachers are uselsss at splitting them up and dealing with them overall wouldn't reccomend yhis school to anyone

Wouldn't recommend
They don't care about the behaviour of the pupils and would let them get away with most things ,the most you would get is a 20 min detention at push.the maths teacher Richard he would let students get away with anything the most discipline he had was asking his pupils to calm down in the quietest voice .wouldn't reccomend going here if you want to get good grades

Amazing school unique code (:
10/10 school even still looking back 2 years on from when I finished my time there. Focuses much more on personal progression with mentors and much more personal communication to students avoiding greatly the one size fits all approach from the average school. Felt like I mentally developed myself at this school compared to other schools where i came out the other end unchanged having barely learned any life lessons. In terms of teaching the curriculum they are perfectly good but the progression...

Great environment
Very good school for students that otherwise aren’t able to fit into the typical education system, the schools use of creating a more like workplace environment is a much better concept for most of the students at this school than others. This school has helped me with being able to be in a good quality education and had resolved many of the issues that I have faced with larger and more typical schools.

Ehhhhhh it’s okay
Being a former student, I can say that the UTC is a good concept, school hours and uniform is an imitation of the workplace, along with attitude towards the teachers, however, in practice, the school is very poor at discipline and you can virtually get away with anything, there is only one ‘scary’ teacher. To conclude, good concept just poorly executed

Top class
Super good school, honestly leaves other schools outclassed in every way possible. Absolutely built different?

NEF is good (:
Really accepting and accommodating to all students main downside is that they have a slight higher focus on well being than eduction if that’s even considered a downside, this I luckily balanced out as it’s easier to learn once mental well-being has been taken care of.

Be aware
Students have no respect for teachers, disciplinary needs fixing, teachers can’t handle certain situations.
